Coconut Creme Caramel Recipe
Ingredients
| Sugar | 1 Cup (16 tbs), divided | |
| Cooking spray | ||
| Eggs | 3 Large, beaten | |
| Egg whites | 2 Large, beaten | |
| Light coconut milk | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Milk fat | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| Coconut extract | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Heat 1/2 cup sugar in a small heavy saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar melts and turns light brown. Quickly pour hot caramel into 6 (6-ounce) custard cups or ramekins coated with cooking spray. Carefully tilt each cup to coat bottom evenly. Place cups in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; set aside.
3. Combine remaining sugar, eggs, egg whites, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Pour mixture evenly over caramel into prepared cups. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 325° for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.
4. Remove cups from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Loosen edges of custard with a sharp knife, and invert onto serving plates, letting melted caramel drizzle over top. Garnish with toasted coconut, if desired
